SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number:* Survey of Reserve Component Spouses; OMB Control Number 0704-RCSS. *Type of Request:* New. *Number of Respondents:* 72,700. *Responses per Respondent:* 1. *Annual Responses:* 72,700. *Average Burden per Response:* 15 minutes. *Annual Burden Hours:* 18,175. *Needs and Uses:* The DoD Survey of Reserve Component Spouses
(RCSS)is the primary source for reliable and generalizable data on the effects of military life on military spouses and their families and the effectiveness of current programs and policies related to military families. The survey is designed to enhance understanding of how spouse and family resilience impact Reserve component force readiness and retention, and is also an indicator informing the effectiveness of programs and policies under the purview of DoD's Military Community and Family Policy Department. Without this biennial survey, DoD would not have current data to guide limited resources to the appropriate programs, policies, and services related to reserve component spouses, their families and ultimately Service members. This survey provides an opportunity for military spouses to directly expand policy makers' knowledge by sharing opinions on issues that directly affect them. Success of current efforts, the impact of activations and deployments, and opportunities to identify areas of need are captured via this biennial survey. These survey results ensure that policy-making decisions are based on current and statistically reliable data regarding the lived experiences of Reserve component families. *Affected Public:* Individuals or households. *Frequency:* On occasion. *Respondent's Obligation:* Voluntary. *OMB Desk Officer:* Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
